Happy St. Patty's Day Everyone!
I found out a few months ago that from my ancestry research that I am indeed Irish! My Grandmothers mother was a direct descendent of Ireland. How exciting ...now I can truly say "Kiss Me I'm Irish" My daughter said to me today...yeah Mom we are Irish on Pop Pops side. Ya think? Esp. since my mom is straight up Asian! Hahaha! Gotta love her!
So a few days ago, Colby actually found an honest to goodness four leaf clover, he left it on the counter. I told him that I would take it to be framed and matted...well then...I worked the past two days and it shriveled up?!? Crap! Seriously! I didn't know I had to keep it water or anything....did you? So now I am here trying to revive a four leaf clover with water therapy which involves just leaving it in a cup?!? If I can't revive it...is that bad luck...damn I need that like I need a hole in the head---I can never win I guess...damn damn damn! Does this mean I am a horrible mother....I wonder if I can order one on the internet? I am sure Ebay will have them...maybe even half price after today * giggle giggle
So tonight for dinner, I made the usual traditional Irish holiday feast of Corn Beef and Cabbage along with some red potatoes and green beans. I also add some Irish beer to the mix. I worked all night last night...so it was nice to just put everything in one pot and let it cook. Set it and forget it! The kids swore they didn't like it and complained all day about having to eat it but they sure did gobble it up and loved it. They even asked it we could make it next year too... silly kids! Shawn even started off with I'm not eating it either....but he too...ate all of his...but I shouldn't of given him any cabbage...ewwwww.....I don't know why its such a fuss...I make it every year!!! And it's goooooood!!!
Oh well...So here's to the Irish and the Non Irish ....Cheers!

And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go"
